General Comments

My wife and I stayed at the Gillieru Harbour Hotel in St. Paul's Bay, Malta, from the 24th of July to the 3rd of August 2005. We were on our honeymoon, and were very disappointed indeed! Firstly though I would like to say that the staff at this hotel are really nice people, and should not be blamed in any way for this review being a bad one.
The food, especially breakfast is just diabolical! having to pay extra for a boiled egg, is something that I find appalling, and a complete rip off. The fruit juices offered are just cheap cordials (I know this because we saw them making large quantities of the stuff). The ham was cheap to say the least, and the cheese slices used in these so called continental breakfasts, are the same as the ones you would buy to put into cheeseburgers, wrapped in plastic and just as rubbery!! The evening meals are nearly as bad.
The air-conditioning in this hotel is so bad, that we had to go out to a local shop and buy a fan to keep us cool, just so we could sleep at nigh The air-conditioning doesn't blow out cold air, it blows out normal air! It is no colder than the air that is already in the room, and you can forget having the doors open if you have an inland room, because the traffic makes so much noise, you can't get to sleep.
There is no way on earth that this is a four star hotel. This is not me being a winger or a snob, but I have stayed at four star and three star hotels before, and this one, believe me would be classed as a three star, if it is lucky. When you pay for a four star hotel you should get a four star hotel! You wouldn't pay for a car with air-conditioning and happily take delivery of a car without air-conditioning would you? The same applies to not getting what you paid for with a hotel, or for any other product or service.
I will be staying at the Hilton next time! At least that way we will be getting what we pay for.
